​Our Parish Mission with Richard Lane

Richard is a Catholic evangelist, and he is one of the most sought after Catholic Speakers in the United States. He gave a parish mission at St. Mary Church on October 29-31, 2012. In addition to speaking at the Church each of those three nights, he also visited with the students and teachers from St. Mary IC School, the students who are in the Religious Education program, and several of our home bound parishioners. Several of the photos from that mission are shown in the slide show to the left.
